I really love this one of the
Carina Nebula:
Bigger sizes here and
related story here.
I have this as my wallpaper now. The colors are just right, and there's just so much neat stuff in the picture. Most of space is empty and cold but this region looks quite happening.
If you find any other cool astronomy photos, post them in this thread.

Are you saying Uranus has a new alias?
What do you call Uranus now?

It's not pronounced "your anus" any more. Now it's "urine ass".
If you guys don't stop it with the Uranus puns, they'll declare it no longer really a planet.
They already pulled that shit once, you know.

Ouranos. Closer to original Greek and it doesn't make 12 year olds snicker.
The Luggage said nothing, but louder this time.

How about Turd Cutter? Hey, hey, hey. It's just a fucking suggestion, OK?

In fact, 10,500 BC was the first time Orion's belt was ever visible in the night sky and the alignment is perfect.

Plutocrats are always complaining, but what about
Ceres. From the link: "historically Ceres and the first few asteroids were initially classified as planets." Cereians don't complain about the
constant reclassification. And then there is
Eris who had to get a name change because of
Xenaphobia. Pluto has had it easy compared to a lot of space rocks.
